I feel the same way. I'm not really sure why we would want to use elements
and attributes to define the templating language. If the purpose is "we can
now parse templates using DOM", then I have to wonder if anyone using
templates is actually asking for that. I know of two use cases that need to
be solved:
1) Templates that cleanly include "</script>".
2) Generating fragments with arbitrary top-level elements.
Are there other use cases that are trying to be solved with <template>?
